jacked up wheel today, rod disconnected, and adjusted brakes until slight drag. pull lever while spinning wheel and locks right up tight. if i put a pair of vise grips on adjuster and wiggle it while it is locked it breaks loose. what PART IS FAILING HERE? every part was cleaned, greased and reassembled. i know wear can not be obvious always. ANY DEFINITIVE IDEAS WITH THIS SYMPTOM?

sounds like the fit between the adjuster and the hole it threads into is sloppy. May need a new adjuster and or Helicoil in hole.
